The many friends of Messrs. Mont gomery Ward & Co.,, formerly at 227 and 229 Wabash avenue, Chicago, will be glad to know that the rapid growth of their business has forced them to re- move from Wabash avenue to III, 112, l13 and IA Michigan avenue, where they have purchased a magnificent building, the seven floors of which they will occupy exclusively. These seven floors are each 100x165 feet, aggregating nearly 120, ,000 square feet (about 3 acres) of floor surface. The new quarters will enable them to handle their large busi- ness to the better advantage of their thousands of customers. Fifteen years ago, Messrs. Montgomery Ward & Go. occupied but one room and that only p x40 feet. The enormous growth of their business during these fifteen years can only be explained by the fact that they sell direct to consumers, supplying all their wants and never misrepresent any article. The success of this house proves the old saying, that honesty is the best policy" and from this policy they never deviate. The Fall catalogue issued by Messrs. Montgomery Ward & Go. ought to be in every family.

Sheriff Owens to the Front.

EDITOR HERALD-The facts in the Cooper killing on Sunday, the 4th inst, at Holbrook by Sheriff Owens, are all in-the official inquiry, private letters, newspaper reports, all point to the com plete justification of the conduct of Commodore P. Owens. Not only was he fully justified, but his success, against great odds in yindicating the law, and discharging his official duty, plainly shows that he acted with great courage and nerve.
 Kno wing that Cooper was desperado, reckless oi- consequences, probably just returned from a murderous crusade in Yavapai county, publicly defying the local officers of the law, surrounded by his kith and kin, under such circum- stances, to go to hls house, alone and unaided, and demand his surrender, and upon being defed, shot at from front, rear and sides by the inmates of the house, to kill Cooper, wound and kill the others, is highly creditable to the pluck and skill of the Sheriff, and for the successful discharge of such perilous duties, solely in obedience to official ob- ligations, deserves, and we believe, will receive the cordial commendation of all law abiding citizens.
 The killing of human beings, particu- larly boys, under any circumstances, by any person, is to belegretted We know that Owens deeply deplores it. But when men become so lost to all sense of their obligations to society, so utterly reckless of the rights of others, as not only to place themselves beyond the pale of consideration by their own con duct; but, by their precepts and exam pie, rear their young relatives in that terrible and criminal atmosphere, and then when the public peace officer, in discharge of his solemn. sworn duty, seeks to arrest them, deliberately at tempt to murder him, they become as- sassins, and merit the fate they meet. The sooner that horse and cattle thieves and murderers learn that they must abandon Apache county or abide the consequences of their criminal conduct, the better it will be for them and the community at large. This killing is simply another sign-board erected along the trail of progress by the strong hand of the law.
 That Owens is to be congratulated upon his fortunate and marvellous es- cape, and commended highly, for the manner Tn which Ae' met this terrible

We give below synopsis of the charge delivered by Judge Wright to the pres ent grand jury. The Judge addressed them as follows:
 Gentlemen of the Jury-Under our newly Revised Code, after the grand jury has been empanelled and sworn, the Judge is required to deliver to them a charge. This is what is frequently called the Judges instructions to the grand jury. In the. olden time your work was called the Grand Inquest; and if properly conducted, it is grand in- quest; one from which, however, the in- nocent have no cause to fear-the wicked violators of the law only having cause for apprehension.
 In the outset, I want to call your especial attention to the import and ob- ligations of the oaths which your fore man has just taken; and winch each of you have duplicated. I observe to you, that, if you carry out this oath to the letter; If you leave undone the things it says You shall not do, and if, fearlessly and impartially, you do things it says you shall do, you will not be apt to go amiss. For instance, this oath requires you to keep secret the councils of the grand jury. This thing of gosslping about the proceedings of the grand jury is an evil. For your protection, and for the good of the pdblic, you should not divulge what takes place before you. No one has right to know-no one can make you tell what takes place before your body, except the Judge of court
The St. Johns herald., 1887-09-15

Gus Zeiger thinks it little strange that he should have been drawn on three successive grand iuries. He thinks the list was exhausted remarkably quick, and that some additional names should be added. He says he is public spirited, philanthropic, and all that sort of thing, but thinks they might let him rest one term of court. He is perfectly willing to do his share of such work, but is not willing to do his, and three or four oth- CTS, without having his kick-and Gus is right.
The St. Johns herald., 1887-09-15

Judge Wright said, in addressing the lawyers the other day, that he had mol come here to play-but to work-and that it was his intention to hold Court
 in the morning, in the afternoon, and if necessary at night. That he intended to stay here until all the cases of public interest had been decided, if it took un- til the second Monday in October. He knew it might prove hardship on the members of the bar to have to be in the court room all day and at night; but that it was equally hard on the witnesses and jurors to keep them from their homes and business any longer than was absolutely necessary.
The St. Johns herald., 1887-09-15

Under Sheriff Mcdonald has reftted, repainted and cleaned the court house. It now has quite respectable appear ance. The mating which has been put down in the hall and in the court room, has made it possible for the Judge law yers and jury to hear what is being said. This should have been done long ago. The convenience and satisfaction to be derived, is worth more in one term of court, hundred times over, than the cost.
The St. Johns herald., 1887-09-15

in proper legal proceedings. You have
 right to call upon the Court for advice,
 but the District Attorney is your legal
 adviser; and he, alone, has right to be
 present during your deliberations, espe-
 cially when you are voting upon bill
 Thus the law designedly guards your
 proceedings.
 Again, you are not to indict any one
 through malice, hatred or ill-will. The grand jury room is no place for one seek ing private vengeance. Because you
 have an enemy-because you dislike somebody, IS no sort of excuse why you should vote to indict him. On the other hand, you must leave no one unindicted through fear, favor or affection, or for any reward or hope thereof. The grand jury, like justice herself, should be blind as to personal feeling. If it is your own father, or your own son, against whom a charge is being investigated, and you are satisfied he is guilty, it is your bounden duty, under the saced obliga- tions of your oaths, to vote for his in- dictment. The grand jury, like the trial jury, is potent for good in proportion as they discharge their duties in accord ance with the spirit of their oaths. Good government, gentlemen, good local self government, paradoxical as it may seem, depends largely upon the manner in which you discharge your duties. To abolish the grand jury system, would in my judgment be a great mistake.
 Now, gentlemen, the law requires that you should give attention first to these cases, where the parties are confnedin your county jail, and on bonds; next. you should examine into the condition of any public prisons in your county; and then you should examine into the manner in which your public offices have been kept. And here, gentlemen, it might be we'll enough to begin first with your District Judge. He is just as amenable to the law, and it is your duty to examine just as closely into his off cial conduct, as any one else. Hold all to rigid account-be partial to none.
 Now, gentlemen, I will call your spec ial attention to the laws of assessment and taxation. The great purpose of the laws, in regard to these subjects, is that the burdens of the governm ent should, like the dews of heaven, fall upon all alike. The belief is entertained that, in this, and in YaYapai and Mohave counties, some citizens have not paid, and do not now pay, their just propor- tion of taxes. The law provides that, in giving to the Assessor a sworn list of his property, if the citizen gives false list, he is guilty of the crime of perjury. do not hesitate to tell you, that if a clear case of this kind were presented to you, it would be your duty to indict. The citizen, who is worth $10,000, ought to pay just ten times as much tax, as the citizen who is worth but $1,000. It is just as great burden for the citizen who owns an humble cabin, to pay his | taxes, as it is for the millionaire and | owner of the palace to pay his taxes.
 Do your duty fearlessly and impartial ly, gentlemen, and when you are through, report the fact to the Court, and you will be discharged and allowed to return to your homes and business.
